I had to find a hotel, last-minute & none w/in the San Jose city limits appealed to me. I was birding in the highlands whereupon other travelers recommended Gran Tara.

Excellent location, exquisite food, wonderful view over the city, traditional charm and friendly people: One of the rare "boutique hotels" in Costa Rica!

What a great change from the previous owner. The hotel is undergoing a full renovation. The grounds look fantastic and everything is spotless. The employees now seem genuinely concerned about their guest. As ever, the food and view are remarkable.

We came across this hidden gem through the lovely folks at Beacon Escazu. They recommended it to us as they were the full the night we called.
